BJP’s prominent Kashmiri leader
and State Vice-President, Sofi Yousuf declared that Kashmir unit of party is
eagerly waiting for guests from across the country to welcome them on the soil of
Kashmir and accompany them to hoist national flag at Lal Chowk on Republic Day.
He was speaking to media persons in presence of National Executive Member
Kissan Morcha M.M. War, Vice-President Kissan Morcha M. Ashraf Azad, National
Secretary Minority Morcha Mustaq Noorbadi and Core Committee Member Kashmir
Sadeeq Khan.
BJP State Vice-President &
Kashmir Prabhari, Chander Prakash Ganga said that accession with India is
complete and 1994 unanimous resolution of Parliament of India is clear on the
subject. He said the decision of BJP Youth Wing—BJYM—to hoist national
tri-colour in Kashmir is of great significance in view of the developments in state.
He said certain forces have tried to raise dispute about accession. BJP will continue its Kashmir Flag Hoisting
programme and any attempt to disturb it will not be tolerated. He said that Dr.
Murli Manohar Joshi started symbolic yatra in 1992 and BJP will continue the
same with the full involvement of local unit. He further said that Omar
Abdullah has termed this programme as provocative is really immature statement
against democratic setup. BJP is trying to correct misdeeds committed by the
government by making unnecessary controversy over accession.
State Spokesperson Ramesh Arora
(Adv.) said that senior leader of Congress party has termed this flag hoisting
as Tamasha of BJP and probably they have forgotten that whether Prime Minister
of India, Chief of State, Ministers and other senior leaders of the Congress
use to celebrate Tamasha by hoisting national flag. It is total disrespect to
national flag that is why BJP national leadership has taken up matter with
President of India and will also take up with Governor of the state. Both being
Custodial and Heads of the constitution are duty bound to protect the dignity
and respect of national flag. BJP is committed to hoist the national flag
“tiranga” as per scheduled programme.
Arora said that state government
policies are responsible for killing of more than 100 youth in Kashmir as part
from the approach of separatists. Raising question mark over merger is not
acceptable, resettlement policy of militants is not in national interests,
demand for with drawl of Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) is unjustified
and such policies of the state government are responsible for turmoil in
Kashmir.
